Evaluating the impact of cross professional peer tutoring among nursing and physiotherapy students

Abstract

This project aims to evaluate the impact of two peer tutored practical workshops designed to enhance clinical skills and inter-professional understanding among nursing and physiotherapy students. The tutors are student volunteers from the Stage Two physiotherapy and nursing programmes (K-Spa, Truro campus). The workshops are timetabled activities previously delivered by lecturing staff. The content was developed and led by students, but guided and supervised by academic staff.

Objectives:

1. To inform future teaching practice by enhancing the evidence base associated with inter-professional peer-tutoring 2. To develop recommendations that will inform future developments associated with this initiative
